Tranquilizer

Take the pill, treat the sickness
Open up, you can do this
Fade to grey, greet the numbness
Show me underneath your tongue
The paranoia washed away
And what is left to take it's place
Just a void; an empty space
Here we are

In this place, there's no sound
It's like your mind is upside down
Time just slips out of your hands
But then you start to understand
The bottled up hysteria
Has nowhere else to go

How am I supposed to feel
In the face of a tragedy?
I put up a fight but I feel nothing anymore
You have taken the life from me

It's not about how I feel
It's about how to handle me
Try as you might, you cannot fix this anymore
I'm not broken I'm incomplete

You painted over blemishes
That make me who I am
But no matter how hard you try
The skin begins to crack

The subtlety of life is lost
Among the walking dead
The bottled up hysteria
Has one place left to go

How am I supposed to feel
In the face of a tragedy?
I put up a fight but I feel nothing anymore
You have taken the life from me

It's not about how I feel
It's about how to handle me
Try as you might, you cannot fix this anymore
I'm not broken I'm incomplete

The emptiness inside it speaks to us
Folding our emotions into cranes, and doves
I can't even remember what I'm naturally like
I hope that I'm still here inside

(The average of life and death)
How am I supposed to feel
(Is worse than either one of them)
In the face of a tragedy?
(Nothing ventured nothing gained)
I put up a fight but I feel nothing anymore
(I'm trapped here in this purgatory)
You have taken the life from me

(The average of life and death)
It's not about how I feel
(Is worse than either one of them)
It's about how to handle me
(Nothing ventured nothing gained)
Try as you might, you cannot fix this anymore
(I'm trapped here in this purgatory)
I'm not broken I'm incomplete
